Layered Southwestern Beef Salad

Remember that Southwest Shredded Beef I blogged about the other day? Well, here it is again for today's lunch. Layered Beef Salad. This is such a pretty dish. It would be very good to take to a potluck dinner or office party. The layers of lettuce, beef, onion, tomatoes or salsa, guacamole and sour cream are beautiful. The contrast in tastes between the spicy beef and the cool sour cream is so good. And the crisp lettuce base coated with the smooth guacamole. Mmmmmm.

Since the beef and salad greens are pre-done, I am able to throw this together this morning in plenty of time to send it to work with my hubby. It also doesn't hurt that the Italian Breakfast Cups for we just ate were already waiting in the fridge too.

This is one of the recipes included in my new cookbook project, Low Carbing Among Friends.

This recipe is available in the book, along with over 60 additional 24/7 Low Carb Diner recipes.
